Abstract:
Extracts of Caralluma attenuata are screened for their antihyperglycemic activity. Ethanol, chloroform and butanol extracts were tested on glucose loaded and alloxan-induced diabetic rats. In both tests, the butanol extract, at the oral dose of 250 mg/kg, has shown statistically significant and considerable antihyperglycemic activity.
